[Verse 1]
Night and day, work or play
Ever since you were awake, I've been vying for you baby
Let me fix what I wrote and betray what I spoke
Oh how I need you, baby
I'm up against loneliness
I'm up against this path
I'm up against memories and the love we no longer share
Oh
[Chorus]
The pressure is on
The pressure's on
The pressure is on
Ever since you been gone, baby
The pressure is on
You got my back against the wall
The pressure is on
Girl, it's a long hard come up
The pressure is on
I said the pressure's on
The pressure is on
[Bridge]
I, I can't, I can't get over you
I, I can't, I can't get over you
[Verse 2]
Ain't nobody, nowhere, in this town that I find
That could love me like you do
I fight in the booze every hour say I lose
Trying to really thank you
I got the faith to front
Girl, you're never coming back
There's no more me and you
Girl, you got yourself somebody new
[Chorus]
The pressure is on
Ever since you been gone
The pressure is on
The pressure is on
You got my back against the wall
The pressure is on
Girl, it's a long hard fall
The pressure is on
Ever since you left
The pressure is on
[Bridge]
(You know)
I, I can't, I can't get over you
I, I can't, I can't get over you
Oh, no
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
[Chorus + Outro]
The pressure is on
I said the pressure's on
The pressure is on
Ever since you been gone, baby
The pressure is on
I said the pressure's on
The pressure is on
The pressure is on
Can't sleep, I can't, ooh girl
All night long, I walk the streets
I said the pressure's on
